Thursday nights at Elks Lodge Wareham have a rhythm all their own. The meat raffle kicks off, the kitchen fires up, and the hall fills with the kind of easy laughter that only happens when people actually know each other. Lodge #73 has been a fixture on Cranberry Highway long enough that regulars measure time in seasons of events, not calendar years.

On Wednesdays, the floor clears for line dancing at 6:30 p.m., led by an instructor who also happens to stay for dinner. The kitchen turns out a proper hot meal, not a sad tray of appetizers, and the bar keeps things moving. The lodge also opens its hall to community events like the popular Holistic Faire, drawing crowds that spill through every doorway.

With a 4.6-star rating across more than 113 reviews, the atmosphere here earns its reputation the old-fashioned way: a comfortable room, friendly faces, and events worth showing up for week after week.

What We Offer

Lodge #73 runs a full calendar that gives members and guests genuine reasons to come back. Wednesday line dancing at 6:30 p.m. pairs movement with a kitchen-cooked meal, making it one of the most attended midweek events on the South Shore. Thursday nights belong to the meat raffle, a crowd favorite that combines a little suspense with a lot of good company.

The hall is also available for community events and fairs, with a full bar and a kitchen capable of feeding a serious crowd. Membership benefits include access to the bar, priority event seating, and the broader network of Elks lodges nationwide. Whether you're a longtime member or someone who just walked in for the first time, the staff makes the difference between a room and a place.

"Went several weeks to the bingo event. Overall it was ok. Announcing was plenty loud. Other players ruined the experience. Too much BS. Constant complaining about anyone trying to have a good time."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
